Celene POV
The next morning came at nagmukha akong zombie. Ang eyebags ko ay masyadong visible sa maputi kong balat. Hindi ako nakatulog sa kakahintay sa kanya pero hindi siya dumating. Tingin ko mga alas tres na ako nakatulog and it's now seven in the morning at gising na ako. Nakakairita na walang bakas ni Ace ang makikita sa kwarto.
The side bed is just exactly the same as before. Agad akong bumaba sa dining room para hanapin siya.
Pababa pa lang ako papuntang living room ay natanaw ko agad ang tatlong lalaki. There are three larger sofa set in the living room, the one in the center facing the big TV in the wall, one in the right side - one meter away from the couch in the center - where it face table, para sa taong kakain ng snack I think.. and the last one on the far left side malapit sa may mga magazines and books.
The three are all in the center couch. Nakahiga si Jake. Andrew is watching TV while Vince is looking at me intently as I walk toward them.
I wanted to ask them where is Ace pero hindi ko magawa. Alam nila kung gaano ako naiirita dito and I'm afraid it would shocked them if I ask about him.
"Where are the girls?" pag-iba ko na lang ng tanong.
But seriously! I don't care about the girls at the moment!
Umupo ng maayos si Jake pagkatanong ko. "They're at the kitchen. You should help them if you want"
I grimace at him. "If you want to set this mansion on fire, I'll help them" pagbabara ko sa kanya.
Umupo ako left side ng couch sa na medyo malayo sa kinaroroonan nila and waited for a chance kung pag-uusapan nila si Ace.
"You don't know how to cook?" tanong ni Andrew ng marinig ang sinabi ko. Hindi na ito nakatingin sa TV.
I just nodded.
Tinawanan ako ni Jake. "How come you don't know? How will you survive in this world?" mala dramang sabi niya. Andrew laughed with him.
I rolled my eyes! What a bully!
"Well, I'm alive if you're not aware, Jake... And do I need to learn cooking, when I could just buy some?" nakataas na kilay kong baling dito.
"Well, try it... Let's see if you could buy some!" pambubully nito sa akin. Nag apiran sila ni Andrew na tumatawa tawa pa.
Andrew agree with him, dapat daw marunong magluto ang mga babae!
Hindi na ako nakipag talo sa dalawa. Sina Allyana at Hannah lang naman ang nakakapag tahimik sa dalawang yan!
Especially Jake!
One hour passed at wala pa din akong narinig tungkol kay Ace. Si Vince ay kasalukuyang nakatungo sa laptop nito ng may tumawag na sa kanya. Si Jake naman ay nakatulog na sa sofa while Andrew is now reading a newspaper.
I'm being impatient as time pass pero wala akong magawa. Hindi ko kayang magtanong sa kanila tungkol sa kanya!
Breakfast was served. Walang Ace na sumipot. Lunch came pero wala pa din hanggang dinner. The most irritating part was that walang nagtataka kung bakit wala siya. Not even his cousin.
Hindi ba sila nag-aalala dito?
Sumama pa ako sa mga lakad nila just so that I could hear update if ever may magbabanggit sa pangalan nito pero wala!
All I got was frustration from Jake who as usual bullied me and Vince who eyed me like I did something wrong.
And I felt so lonely kapag naghaharutan ang mga ito!
